PAULINE OLIVEROS AND DEEP LISTENING?:Even
though composer Pauline Oliveros left the material plane two years
ago this Thanksgiving, her pioneering work continues to flourish
as if she were still running the show. And maybe she is. During
the years
before she passed, Oliveros took steps to build a vibrant
community and educational system to carry on her
legacy, mic and practice of Deep Listening at events around the
world.? On Augt 3, 2018, the city of Kingston unveiled a “Deep
Listening Plaza in Honor of Pauline Oliveros” ? Read the entire Press Release

"Pauline Oliveros is a virtuoso at creating environments
for micians to explore. The legendary 84-year old
composer, accordionist, and electronic pioneer is perhaps

mical scores are jt as innovative. Most of them
contain text rather than mical notation, and eschew
hard-and-fast directions in favor of poetic guidelines to
be interpreted. In other words, she doesn’t tell people
what to play, but how to play—and jt as importantly, how
to listen. Given this creative freedom, her collaborators
often respond with something that’s less like mic to
passively listen to than spaces your mind can enter and
probe."? Marc Masters, Pitchfork.com

which stemmed from a trip into a giant underground cistern
with a 45-second reverb.? Read
